Water marble nail

The water marble nail technique has gained popularity across the globe through features in magazines,[1] websites,[2][3] polish makers[4] and videos.

[5] There are two main types of water marble nail art methods: free-dragging and free-dropping.

Dropped patterns range from colored shapes to complicated drawings such as spirals and geometric designs.

After the base coat has dried, tape is put around the fingers to gather the excess nail polish after the marbling.

The resulting pattern is ready for application to the nail, but it can still be modified with a stick or toothpick to create different shapes.
